Booked with Balkan for next w/end. Going to Bansko.
The 2 ski packs available are beginners at £99 each or intermediates at £135 each. Having only been once before I booked the £99 option. However, having chatted with some friends, it seems that I should probably have booked the intermediate package.
Anyone else ever done this? Do I just pay to upgrade in the resort? What is the difference? Is it just different instructors? Will I spend the first 2 days snow ploughing down 1% ...

Any advise appreciated,

Not sure that the ski school actually check! More fool them, cos some of the comments I've read on here seem to indicate that some people are now jsut booking the cheaper beginners pack regardless of their ability.

Nice one, you've put my mind at rest. Perhaps there's a tip there for anyone booking for next year?!re: Ski pack with Balkan? Help!
As far as I can remember, and it may have changed since I was in ski school 5 years ago, you are given a card by your rep that states what ski tuition you have booked, and your instructor will ask for this on your first day.So if this is still the case, you may have a problem trying to use it for a different type of tuition.

as you have only skied once you are still a beginner. what they did this year was ask how many times you had skied snd put you in similar groups,they will move you up or down a group as they think fit, ive seen people who have skied for a couple of years and will still be in complete beginners next year ,and others who are naturals,let the instructors decide which you are not the tour operators, lets face it everyone gets boots skis an instructor and a lift pass.doesnt matter what grade you ...
